Third Year

in beautful istanbul, on erasmus, attempting to break the back of my dissertation.

Second Year Recap

the most important thing that happened to me this year, in terms of work and just in general, was the occupation.
this led. to this.


and then. this.

First Year Recap

so. first year.
mostly wasted in a haze of hangover.

book project was the best thing that happened. as it combined the media, including the first army style badge, i now employ within my practice.
and utilised a sweet quote from an iain banks book, where sweetness is not always easy to find.

"these were the days of fond promise. when the world was very small and there were still magic in it. He told them stories of the Secret Mountain and the Sound that could be Seen, of the Forest drowned by sand. They learned of distant times. And they believed all of it."

MISSION STATEMENT #2

i am perservering. inspired by a lecture i went to yesterday on the importance of social networking. i think it was on that. but it was in turkish so who knows.

i was thinking i'd delete everything and start again. but on reading back through, i have decided to just delete a few posts, do a new mission statement and a quick catch up and we'll go from there. hoorah.

so.
